Justice Minister Kris Faafoi introduced the Counter-Terorrism Legislation Bill on Tuesday, which seeks to add a number of terrorism offences to law.
They include offences for travelling to or from New Zealand with the intention to carry out a terrorist offence, planning or preparing for a terrorist act, or weapons training or combat training for terrorist purposes.
